Antiquities modified through restoration have shaped the study of
ancient sculpture from the very beginning: Statues that were added
to, completed, or otherwise modified between 1500 and 1900
represent a considerable portion of the surviving material basis.
In a discussion of selected examples this volume seeks to shed
light on the circumstances surrounding such restorative
modification.

In this catalog of an exhibition at the cast gallery of ancient
sculpture of the Free University of Berlin, for the first time
ancient sculptures are presented together with the literary and
epigraphic evidence from the 6th century BC to the 11th century AD,
and both given equal emphasis. Based on a representative selection
of 40 works and the relevant written sources, the exhibition
discusses important problems of text and sculpture, and so
contributes to a better understanding of ancient sculpture. Topics
considered include a consideration of the basis on which statues
have been identified, attributed to a sculptor and dated. The
catalog is the result of an interdisciplinary project intended to
replace the obsolete standard work by Johannes Overbeck, Die
antiken Schriftquellen zur Geschichte der bildenden KA1/4nste bei
den Griechen (1868), and to update it to meet modern needs by
including a translation, a philosophical-epigraphic and
archaeological commentary, a list of literary references and
illustrations. The a oeNew Overbecka will be published by de
Gruyter in 2009 in four volumes.
Im Nordostteil des Wörlitzer Parks erhebt sich über der
Wasserfläche am 'Großen Walloch' das Pantheon des Architekten
Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff. In Gestalt und Lage erinnert
es an Beispiele in englischen Landschaftsgärten. Fürst Franz von
Anhalt-Dessau (1740-1817) versuchte, angelehnt an Johann Joachim
Winckelmanns 'Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums', im Inneren des
Pantheons mit Skulpturen und Nachbildungen eine Vorstellung von der
Abfolge antiker Kunstentwicklung zu vermitteln, die noch heute dort
ausgestellt sind.
